Introduction[edit | edit source]
Myoglobin is an iron-containing heme protein that is present predominantly in the sarcoplasm of skeletal and cardiac muscles. Due to the presence of heme moiety, myoglobin serves as a carrier and store for oxygen in muscle cells of the body. Myoglobin has more affinity for oxygen as compared to hemoglobin. As a result, it can acquire oxygen from hemoglobin, hence transferring it from the blood to the muscle tissues.[1]
